We're less than a handful of days until the 2015 Major League Baseball season begins. It looks to be a very exciting season, chock full of parity -- particularly on the American League side -- and with tons of upcoming young talent.
And now, it's time for us to reveal our predictions. Definitely feel free to add yours to the comments section, doing as much or as little of what we did. It's an unpredictable game, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun and give it a shot.
Here they are, our 2015 CBSSports.com staff predictions, courtesy of Jon Heyman, Mike Axisa, David Brown, Dayn Perry and Matt Snyder.
